To those who have donated time and information to this thread, I am extremely grateful. There have been some interesting trends that have developed over the past couple of years. None of this would have been evident without this thread and without the submissions from its members and other boards.
Due to the move from the old old forum and the old new forum, we have lost information that has been submitted by it's members. With this post, I am trying to give a summation of what has been collected as of yet. I have tried to give a statistical idea of the features that will be found on these rifles. I have tried to break it down to the best of my ability. If you can't tell already, I am trying. Some things just don't come out in the wash without the big picture. And with the big picture, comes my whole database. Unfortunately, I cannot and at this time don't wish to, post my whole database. Its not ideal to post on 25 rifles at a time in pictures for over 250 rifles, and the file format is simply not supported.
If you haven't submitted information and you have a rifle you would like to report on, please feel free to do so.
The KEY information that I am collecting is as follows:
Year on barrel: 1943 or 1944
Receiver type: Hex or Round
Stock type: Finnish two piece (wartime,post war, or Russian partial) or Russian one piece
Front sight type: Blade (Finnish two piece, Russian/Soviet blade, or barley corn) or Soviet Globe
***Please Note***
Following this post, I will post a list of the members who should receive credit for submitting their information on the previous two boards. It wouldn't be necessary if were possible to recreate their submissions. (All three pages full.)
